    Description

    Here we have another special girl.  She's 19" and precious!  Pierced ears.  Her mama and papa cry strings STILL WORK (see pic).  When you pull on the strings she cries!  She was bought by us years ago from a reputable auction house and came to us with a tag that reads "Wig made from Lady Ashley's hair.  She was a playmate of orig owner.  Came from England."  We have NOT removed her wig to check for cracks and do not want to do so just for pics.  But what we can see there are not any.  She's wearing a pretty peach organza dress, slip, pantaloons, socks and shoes and one earring.  And an adorable straw hat with a peach ribbon and feather to match her dress.  Exactly how she came to us many years ago.  She has a ball jointed wooden body and is jointed at her wrists, elbows and knees. Her body seems to have been repainted but if so, this was done many, many years ago.  Her left wrist does not move do to repainting but all other joints are working great.  Opened mouth, teeth, thick eyebrows, long lashes, beautiful blue SLEEP eyes and pierced ears.  Simply gorgeous! All tags etc will be included in sale.
